What's the difference between medium and long cage lengths on rear mechs? What bearing on gear changes etc does it have?

Just bought what was supposed to be a medium off ebay - turns out its long :?

    all the info you need is in the FAQs

    have a read.

    but you can use a long cage with what ever set up you have.
